Family-friendly Farming

When the UK meets North America

We’re Ian and Gillian Pigott and it’s our pleasure to welcome you to The Pop Up Farm. A spin-off from our traditional family farming business, we’ve created a place to share our enthusiasm for farming, education and biodiversity with as many people as possible. 

On our home farm ‘Thrales End‘, located on the outskirts of Harpenden, we grow wheat, oats and beans and also let offices, meeting rooms and storage space.

Ian is a sixth generation Hertfordshire farmer, while film and telly publicist Gilly is a born-and-raised city girl from Toronto, Canada. The Pop Up Farm marries progressive British farming with an authentic North American obsession with pumpkins, sunflowers and corn. 

Together we’ve been bringing the best of both to London’s Local Farm since 2017.

Explore Our Farm

Why not create a new family tradition or relive childhood memories by coming along to one of our Pop Up Farm events? Get involved, whether it be picking pumpkins, sunflowers, corn or whatever our next idea may be. 

We’re always exploring new ways to offer even more countryside fun, so keep an eye out for upcoming announcements.
